I had a similar issue at the beginning of the year; some g. skill ddr4-3200 (with xmp) started bit-flipping on me and causing crashes. Sure enough on memtest64 those issues were clearly diagnosed. Haven't changed to ECC hardware, disabling xmp to ddr4-2333 helped with stability.

I replaced the RAM in my storage machine because of this earlier this year too.

ZFS was reporting all sorts of errors, yet drive tests were showing no issues. I bought about 3 new drives before I realised what the root cause was. A real PITA. Next time I do a hardware refresh, ECC is definitely on the menu.
